Answer:

So the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

By definition the perimeter of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of its sides.

In this case we know that the perimeter is 63

The lengths of its sides depend on x.

AB = 6x\\AC = 4x + 6\\BC = 8x + 3

So:

6x + 4x + 6 + 8x + 3 = 63

Now we solve for the variable x.

6x + 4x + 6 + 8x + 3 = 63

18x + 9 = 63

18x = 54

x=\frac{54}{18}\\\\x=3

Therefore:

AB = 6(3)=18\\AC = 4(3)+6=18\\BC = 8(3) + 3=27

The triangle has two sides of equal length. The triangles that have two equal sides are the isosceles triangles.

So the triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle

P•X=-10 <br><br> I already know the answer but what why is P -10?
Yuri [45]
P-x= -10
Now to isolate x divide both sides by p
-x = -10/p
But x can not be a negative do distribute a negative 1 to both sides and your answer is :
x = 10/p

I need help with this problem
IgorC [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Her angle of depression is the same measure as the angle of inclination inside the triangle. That's the base angle that is not the right angle. The height of the triangle is the 10,000 feet she is up in the air, and the reference angle is 20, and we are looking for the measure of the base of this right triangle. The trig ratio that uses the side opposite over the side adjacent is the tangent ratio:

tan(20)=\frac{10000}{x} and

x=\frac{10000}{tan20} so

x = 27474.77 feet
